Another cool way to get music in your bus is your Blackberry.  Go to
Blackberry App World (have to install that) then download Pandora or Slacker
and crete your own music channels.  The Blackberry will hook up the same way
as an Mp3 payer, through the Auxillary connection.  Sound quality is quite
remarkable.  If you create say, The Animail Liberation Orchestra channel,
you will also hear some Jack Johnson and Donovan Frankenreiter, similar
sounding music.  You can actually give each song a thumbs up or down to
refine the selections.   Kind of a bummer though, if you're cruising along
to "Box of Rain" and work calls...

It is over the wire, so reception may vary in remote spots.  It works quite
well in urban areas.
